2009 Benelli Tornado Tre 1130 | Motorcycle Review
Intoxicating Torquey Triple
First established in 1911, Benelli motorcycles began when widow Mama Teresa Benelli sank the family capital into a Pesaro garage business, hoping that it would offer work for her six sons. Through the subsequent near-century–and despite much racing success–Benelli has travelled a sometimes rocky motorcycle road, eventually being purchased by Chinese motor group Qianjiang in 2005.
Retaining the original Benelli staff and leaving all design and manufacturing still in Pesaro, the combination of Asian work ethic and Italian design flair has proven a potent combination indeed. The result has produced several new ...

Tuner Tuesday: Anti-AMGs? Lorinser and Zender R107 SLs
Just yesterday, Paul revisited a lovely green 1986 560 SL and reminded us that these cars are at the bottom of the market in terms of classic Mercedes-Benz convertible ownership. It was only a few years ago that the W113 was priced below $20,000; now getting into a good example of that car will set you back the best part of three times that amount if not more.
While in my opinion the W113 was a much prettier car than the R107 successor, there’s no denying the presence and value these 1970s and 1980s drop-top Benzs offer. Yet, few of these cars were modified like the sedan counterparts; those that have are usually AMG cars. But today ...

Italian motorcycle civil war
Competition is good for business. It keeps the wheels of innovation turning and prices down. And best of all, the consumer is usually the winner, reaping the benefits of better products and greater selection of choice.
A little intra-national rivalry is always good for business, too. A sense of pride in being the best from your own land keeps pencils sharp and late nights at the office routine when there’s another player from your own backyard vying for the same piece of the pie.
Ducati is an undeniable presence in the world motorcycle market these days, so it would seem the Borgo-Panigale-based company has little to fear from within. Nevertheless, the Italian ...

Benelli Tornado 900 Tre Limited Edition – 2002
Tornado Tre-at!
Good things come to those who wait, or so they say. Well we’ve had to wait a long time for the Tornado since it was first shown to a stunned audience in July 1999. It’s taken the Benelli guys a while to get the bike into production but now the first bikes are rolling off the Benelli production line.
Glenn Le Santo travelled to the Benelli HQ in Pesaro, Italy to see if the Tornado Tre Limited Edition is a good thing and was worth waiting for.
One of the great things about being a motorcycle journalist is that I often see a fantastic new bike at a show and think I must ride that! Unlike back in the mists of time ...

Benelli Cafe Racer – Sport TNTs | Review
Rebirth: Benelli Motorcycles
How brilliantly audacious for legendary Italian manufacturer Benelli, resuscitated from the brink of dissolution just a few years ago, to blast back onto the scene with an all-new machine bearing the sinfully appropriate TNT nomenclature. It is a bold statement born from a company that, since its inception in 1911, has endured a tale of exalted success and melancholic near ruin.
It all began very humbly, 95 years ago, when widow Teresa Benelli sank the family savings into the fledgling “Benelli Garage” to ensure stable employment for her six sons. After several decades of enjoying the fruits of racing and commercial ...
